Hello,
Have you guys heard about devices of Ncomputing that allow to share computers to others clients - like Multi - user.
I want to set up for our office in PP to save money. Any ideas suggestion>
Do you know about Virtual Desktop Infustructure - Ncomputing

Thin computing is a good idea, but the reality is that the thin clients often cost more than cheap desktops, plus you have server costs.
The real benefit/saving is in control and management, which is possibly less applicable in Cambodia.

I have worked with similar technology (Wyse tc, Citrix/Windows servers) in the West for reasons which apply less here in Cambodia (loss of power/internet).
We mainly used it for:
- mobility/work-from-home, reducing the need to travel and associating costs
- increased security, by isolating applications, users and data
- centralized IT management, reducing costs (this eliminated all local IT-teams)
Thin clients are generally a bit more expensive however once they run you hardly ever need to look at them. They offer centralized monitoring/configuration/upgrading. Of course a certain percentage will break down so have some spares.
The server-side will be a bit more complicated but overall it ran more stable. Make sure to add enough redundancy as an outage impacts more users than in a traditional client/server setup.
The question for you is:
How do you think to save money?
For example on the server-side you most likely require more cpu/mem/storage. If sizing is done incorrectly you will suffer performance issues.
Is your IT staff able to handle a more complicated server-side?
Make sure to compare the various technologies out there and compare them to your needs and budget. Just running to Ncomputing based on some marketing talk will not benefit you.

And take the reliability and speed of your Cambodian internet connection into account too.kiiniaew wrote:I have worked with similar technology (Wyse tc, Citrix/Windows servers) in the West for reasons which apply less here in Cambodia (loss of power/internet).
